Chapter 1297 - 1297: Slaying the Daoist Saint

"Ding! Host resurrected."

Amid the cursing, Jiang Cheng flamboyantly came back to life.

And in his hand, a brand new challenge order appeared.

The system was quite lazy, this token, apart from the orange color differing slightly from the Hundred Battle Order, was otherwise identical in size and shape.

Holding this 'Thousand Battle Order' that shouldn't even exist, Brother Cheng was extremely disdainful.

He really wanted to try getting killed again to see if the system would give something else.

But thinking that the victory plan had already emerged, if he didn't seize it, he might die permanently, right?

Better not to take such a risk.

"Sect Leader Jiang!"

Upon his resurrection, the previously despair-stricken disciples of Mowu Sect were overjoyed.

"Sect Leader Jiang is still alive!"

"Hahaha, that's great, I knew he wouldn't die so easily."

Daoist Venerable Lin Jing, who had also been immersed in despair and sorrow earlier, immediately became elated.

"I told you there was no need to worry."

"Who is Sect Leader Jiang, what hasn't he been through? How could he die at the hands of a mere Daoist Saint?"

"Next time, stay calm, don't panic over a little situation."

His act even earned a contemptuous glance from the Three-Eyed Tiger.

"You! How are you still alive?"

Seeing the corpse on the ground disappear and Jiang Cheng reappear unharmed, even the Daoist Saint Yuan Ke was stunned.

This couldn't possibly be a Rule of Life's resurrection since the rules were locked outside the challenge space.

Nor could it be a bloodline resurrection secret technique.

Because bloodline secret techniques were also restricted outside.

"Sigh, same old question again."

Brother Cheng, as usual, gave a pretentious explanation filled with flair.

"You're a Daoist Saint, right? If I just wiped you out, wouldn't that be embarrassing for you?"

"And it would also make my victory seem too easy, people would think Daoist Saints are weak."

"So, I pretended to let you kill me once, just to save your face."

"Now that the warm-up is over, are you ready to be killed?"

These words left the Mowu Sect disciples unsure whether to believe or not.

It sounded too arrogant, yet somehow plausible.

And naturally, Daoist Saint Yuan Ke was infuriated.

"You're truly arrogant beyond measure!"

He summoned his Daoist Essence once more.

"Playing tricks, I refuse to believe you can keep resurrecting!"

Then, his Daoist Essence vanished on the spot.

Not permanently, just sealed away.

But in its place, the Sword Rule was unleashed.

"How can this be?"

Daoist Venerable Yuan Ke was shocked.

This was completely outside his understanding.

Holding the Hundred Battle Order, he fell into a state of existential doubt.

"I have this order, the challenge isn't over, how could the lock change?"

"Hahaha..."

Brother Cheng jiggled the Thousand Battle Order in his hand.

"Your token has lost its power."

Daoist Venerable Yuan Ke and the onlookers finally noticed the peculiar-colored challenge order in Brother Cheng's hand.

"What's that in your hand?"

"This?"

Brother Cheng's eyes twinkled, and he said with a smile: "This is the daddy of your Hundred Battle Order, the Thousand Battle Order. When the father's around, what right does the son have to lay down rules?"

Everyone spat blood in unison.

Does the Hundred Battle Order really have a daddy called the Thousand Battle Order?

How come no one ever heard of it?

Even Daoist Venerables Lin Jing and Ming Jia, these old hands in Duan Yang Dao, were looking at each other in surprise.

So there was a more advanced challenge order than the Hundred Battle Order?

"I don't believe it!"

Daoist Saint Yuan Ke was about to go mad.

He was quite aware of Jiang Cheng's thirteen-layer Sword Dao Realm.

Now, with only the Sword Rule remaining restricted, he felt extremely uneasy.

"There must be some mistake here!"

Brother Cheng didn't care what he thought.

At this point, there was nothing to hesitate about.

He directly drew his sword and, indeed, unleashed the thirteen layers of the Sword Dao Realm.

Daoist Saint Yuan Ke was also a swordsman.

But his Sword Dao Realm was only at the tenth layer.

For other immortals, he was a lofty grandmaster, but he was not enough in front of Jiang Cheng.

His Sword Dao Realm was crushed in the first instant.

Immediately, he was overwhelmed by a brilliant, magnificent, chaotic, and stormy world, subjected to wave upon wave of almost unending attacks.

When the dust settled, this Daoist Saint was actually still alive.

Despite being riddled with wounds and bleeding profusely, he was not easily killed like the previous Daoist Venerable.

He managed to survive an entire round of thirteen-layer Sword Dao assaults by sheer force.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but marvel, Daoist Saints truly were different.

Although his attack was significantly weakened due to lack of immortal power, the opponent also had no immortal power to resist.

If neither of them were restricted, if they were at full power, he truly would have had no chance to beat this Daoist Saint.

Jiang Cheng didn't taunt him, facing the indignant and hateful Yuan Ke, he once again unleashed the Sword Dao Realm.

Giving him an ending with enough respect.

This time, Daoist Saint Yuan Ke finally fell.

The challenge space dissipated, and the crimson Hundred Battle Order dropped to the ground.

Along with it, Daoist Saint Yuan Ke's personal belongings also fell.

However, Jiang Cheng did not immediately check them.

Winning the challenge against a Daoist Saint, he received an immense amount of rule gifts!

Opening the skill panel, the Water Element's Profound Pattern shot directly from the twelfth layer to the fourteenth layer.

And it was already at 16% progress of the fourteenth layer.

This was equivalent to hundreds of billions of Immortal Yuan Points.

And the Water Element's Profound Pattern proudly took the throne as his strongest rule.

With a fourteen-layer Rule Enlightenment, it was on par with a Daoist Saint.

If his accumulation of immortal power was sufficient now, he was fully qualified to become a Daoist Saint with just the Water Rule.

However, with only one rule, he would probably only count as the weakest Daoist Saint.

Moreover, this rule, he hadn't even connected with an origin, let alone refined it into his own origin.

"Looks like I'll have to work on the Water Origin in the future."

"A refined origin can fill the Law Space, further enhancing power."

After confirming the Profound Pattern, he finally had time to examine the spoils in front of him.

Unfortunately, what Daoist Saint Yuan Ke wielded was only a Tier Seven Dao Artifact.

This disappointment made Jiang Cheng realize that Tier Eight Dao Artifacts were probably extremely rare.

However, the collection inside Yuan Ke's Storage Ring was extremely abundant, with a vast array of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures dazzling Brother Cheng's eyes.

After a quick inventory, he chuckled in satisfaction.

"Sect Leader Jiang, congratulations on another victory!"

The enemies were vanquished, and the admirers, Daoist Venerable Lin Jing, and Daoist Venerable Ming Jia, rushed over to enthusiastically flatter him.

"Slaying a Daoist Saint is simply unparalleled!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've heard of a Daoist Saint being killed, it's incredible!"

"Truly deserving of the undefeated title, Sect Leader Jiang!"
